Thank-You Letters

February 16, 2014

The staff and board of Na Hoaloha-Neighbors Helping Neighbors send a special mahalo to Dave Berry, vice president and chief operating officer of Mokulele Airlines, for donating 10 travel vouchers to our top volunteer drivers who provided between 1,500 and 4,500 miles of transportation to homebound seniors, and to U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono for recognizing their achievements with Congressional Certificates of Appreciation.

Our volunteer drivers are paid 55 cents per mile to help seniors and people with disabilities remain independent and in their home. We are happy to honor their service with these recognitions.

Candice Carter, executive director

Hale Makua Health Services would like to thank the businesses and volunteers who supported our organization at the 2014 Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Hale Makua has been honored to have been selected as a benefiting charity of the tournament for over 10 years.

It has been a privilege to work with the PGA tournament staff as well as volunteers from the other benefiting charities: Boy Scouts of America, Friends of the Children's Justice Center, J. Walter Cameron Center, Ka Lima O Maui and Lahainaluna High School Foundation.

Our participation in this event would not be possible without our staff, board directors, community members and the Maui Junior Golf Association members who so generously gave their time to help with merchandising, ecology and the media center on behalf of our organization. We are grateful for their support for our mission to improve the well-being of those in our care through compassionate personalized health services in our home and yours.

A very special mahalo to Tournament Director Nancy Cross and Coordinator Marisa McCollough for making this exceptional event possible. We appreciate all that was done to ensure the success of the tournament, and its continued support of Maui's nonprofits.

Denise Thayer, director of development & marketing

I would like to express my gratitude to the members of VFW Post 3850 and members of VFW Ladies Auxiliary 3850 for all of the help and donations that made our chicken and steak fry a success. Thank you to everyone for giving of your time.

I would like to express my gratitude to the two people who were a tremendous help: Cassie Ale and Peggy Haake. This fundraiser wouldn't have been a success without them.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Haake and Naomi Araki for delivering the donated food items to Maui Job Corps.

Thank you to Larry Tuzon and his Maui Job Corps students for their assistance with our fundraiser.
